CALIFORNICATION GOES ALL THE WAY
Series Star & Executive Producer David Duchovny & Co. Resume Production Next Spring on Season Three’s 12 Episodes
LOS ANGELES, CA – (December 3, 2008) – It’s back to bed for SHOWTIME with the 3rd season pick-up of the Golden Globe® Award-winning comedy series CALIFORNICATION, it was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, SHOWTIME President of Entertainment. Series star and executive producer David Duchovny, who won a Golden Globe® Award for his work as ‘Hank Moody,’ a novelist with weaknesses for sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll, will resume production next spring on 12 episodes for a late 2009 premiere. Series creator and Executive Producer Tom Kapinos helms the production that also stars Natascha McElhone (“Laurel Canyon”) and Evan Handler (“Sex and the City”).
The series, which was nominated earlier this year for a Golden Globe® Award for “Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy” and won an Emmy® Award for “Outstanding Cinematography for a Half-Hour Series,” centers around the unique and sophisticated world of Hank Moody, a hedonistic novelist/blogger who struggles to raise his Goth-loving teenaged daughter (Madeleine Martin), while still carrying a torch for his disapproving ex-girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone). His unapologetic obsession with truth-telling and self-destructive behavior complicates every aspect of his life.
“It wouldn’t be SHOWTIME without a yearly dose of CALIFORNICATION,” says Greenblatt. “This unapologetic show, about a group of characters led by the inimitable David Duchovny, has quickly established itself as one of our signature comedy series. Beneath its veneer of debauchery, however, is a complex take on love and adult relationships that surprisingly turns poetic and romantic just when you least expect it. ”
“I love working with SHOWTIME, Tom Kapinos, and the cast,” says Duchovny. “We all have such creative freedom and support, it’s been a peak experience, and I am so happy to be doing the show.”
Duchovny is best known to millions of fans for his work as Agent Fox Mulder on the long-running cult classic television series, “The X Files,” a role for which he earned a Golden Globe® Award and was nominated for an Emmy®. He also received Emmy® nominations for guest appearances on “The Larry Sanders Show” and “Sex and the City.” He is a three-time Golden Globe® and SAG Award nominee. Recent film credits include last summer’s hit film “The X Files: I Want to Believe” opposite Gillian Anderson; “Things We Lost in the Fire” opposite Halle Berry and Benicio del Toro; Jake Kasdan’s “The TV Set”; “Trust the Man” and “Evolution,” both opposite Julianne Moore; and “Return to Me,” co-starring Minnie Driver.

Best Tv show I ever seen.
I can’t wait to see the next season,
dis show is de shizzle i want to marry it and hav its babies
as a “six feet under” lover’ with a taste for shows with a real live message under the production ‘ this is one amazing show. although its a fantasy that looks a mik miles awat its realistic and approching to all. hat off to the writers for a touching story of love and life in the making’ with a twist. also to the actors,espacially David Duchovny and Natascha McElhone for a heart worming act. im itching for season 3…
loved it.
More Hank and co.
Bring back Ashby!
best shox ever make me so exited i cant believe a show can do that to me hank moody you are the sexiest man ever
I m waiting for season-3
Great tv show, it`s a shame that here in Mexico no channel aire or aired this amazing show…
This show is amazing in ever facet i hope it never ends it like a bit of perfect it shows this fucked up world we live in the way it really is keep up the good work showtime
Love this show it proves that you can rock out with your cock out and be responsible at the same time. Chase more skirts, Hank! L’chaim broseph.
I CANT WAIT I’M ONLY 24 AND I THINK DAVID. D (HANK) IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND WICKED HOT! I ALSO LOVED HIS WORK IN THE X-FILES(except the new movie) I HOPE TO SEE THIS SHOW GO ON FOR MANY MORE SEASONS
its a more adult version of Entourage, yet appeals to kids very well too. a lot more love in it than Entourage, while less actual parties. lots of smoking, drinking, and girls. Entourage, Weeds, and Californication are all at the top of the list.
Hank Moody is my hero! Hope the series continues for a very long time. Californication and DD rule!
Kudos to Hank!!!!n karen n the whole cast.
Such an entertainer…The name says it all.For all you guys who haven’t seen this awesome,tranquilizing,psychedelic n mystical show,believe me..u dont wanna miss it!!!n Showtime in all its right mind should see nothing wrong in continuing the season for a long long time!!!!
Eagerly waiting for season 3
absolutely awesome!!!! but when exactly is season 3 gonna be finished? i can’t wait anymore..
You have to wait till summer- Californication starts in the summer
greatest show…hank moody is an idol
when can we show the seasson 3??
AMAZING SERIES ! LOVE IT ! PLEEEEEEASE GIMMIE MORE !!!!!!!!!!
Hank Moody, best character EVER ! Genius !
Want a season 4 too !
i know its a bit corny question, but does anybody know if Karen is going to be a big part of season 3, or she moves to NY and just is going to be a referred character?
I would like her to still have a big role in the series, but at the same time its good that Hank gets som space in LA, so he doesnt have to worry that much about his lost love!
Wouldn’t be the same without Karen’s judging eyes. Hank is Hank because he can’t have her if he cant keep it zipped. He knows he cant keep it zipped. His daughter knews he cant keep it zipped and yet they all try anyway. Tragic love all the way around.
And of course every guy watching wants to grudge-f%$k Mia. She has to come back.
LOVE this show, and I was wondering the same thing, if Karen living in NY will give her time to heal in her personal life. As they wre shooting season 2, she found out her plastic surgeon husband died suddenly at 45…and she still filmed and wrapped the season up…now THAT’S an actress!
DAMN this show is awesome, I just want more and more! cant wait for season 3!
Too freaking good..
Best Frakin show ever…can’t wait for season 3…and 4…and 5…
Go Hank…gooo
Fantastic Show!!!
For Hank and Karen I`m lovin them.
duchovny….great actor…x files also rules
Entuourage was my thing until I got addicted to Californication….
it makes entourage look like a kids show!
thought the ending to season two was weak. Crazy how the show just wrote off lew ashby like nothing. no one in the show even shed a tear over that guy. Loved the first season and the couldnt stop watching the second season, but what else do they have to explore at this point?
best tv show ever… DD is a fucking rock star.. the only complaint is that Ashby died too early.. runkle rules.. they all do.. should of killed off the annoying off spring of bill..
its between nip/tuck and entourage..
super-production, keep up the good work..
Californication one of the best show ever on TV i got the all the eps
reason why no one cried over ashby is because he had no friends.. at the end of the day after all the sex drugs parties.. he had no one left..
but they showed that little scene where hank and ashby were talking after hank finished his biography. that part was very meaningful. the story of both of them didnt require the show to have a funeral for ashby. and have lots of people there crying for him. it was just hank and ashby that were buddies that had to say goodbye to each other. simple as that!
As many said, Great show. anyone know a date when season 3 will air?? i´m whaiting and whaiting but nothing.
someone please tell me. 
SEASON 3 will start in August and run through the fall on the regular schedule for Californication
Easily one of the best television shows ever. I’ve just finished watching season 2, and I’m going through a little bit of withdrawl, so I can hardly wait for season 3
to start!
Hank Moody is my hero!!
this shows legendary, by far the best ever tv show av watched, all his does is take drugs n shag ne 1 e wants, wt a legend haha!!!
get it, got it and now cant wait for season 3!!
bring it on soon!!
I am so addicted to this show… If they stopped making it I would be devastated!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this show!!
Perfect…Absolutely. Definitely best actor Lew Ashby. We have a Lew Ashby fan club. Lew needs to be reborned. Lew we want you back. DD you rock ! Lew come back….we miss u !
Man!! i just got to hear abt this show…and i watched all 24 episodes in god damn 50 hours and i knw its hard to belive…but i kept watching all day all nite..
